You probably know how to make chicken fingers. Just buy the chicken already cut into tenders and coat them: flour, egg, panko. Note: I like some cayenne mixed in my panko. Then just fry or bake. I’m trying to be healthy, so I went with baking. The story here is not the chicken, it’s the…

I’m off to another wedding tomorrow morning, but this week’s “3 on Thursday” is all about the wedding weekend I just came from. With all the weddings I have, it’s become very tough for me to make it down to Atlanta, where so many of my college/home friends live. If I’m going to go to…

When Third and Long closed abruptly, I mourned the loss of a pub that was a great place to watch Rangers games. The space stayed empty for months until, finally, signs of life began to reappear. When Ted’s Corner Tavern emerged, it was entirely different from its predecessor. It was nicer, with a marble topped…

“Sweet & Sour” is my version of that dinner table game where every guest says what the best and worst parts of the day were. As we head into the weekend, I think it’s important to get the bad stuff off your chest and remember the positives as a silver lining and energizing factor. When the…

I bought a huge bag of cotija cheese for the tacos I made for Cinco de Mayo so I decided to use it for esquites. Esquites is a creamy grilled corn dish that’s basically mexican street food. I have never really walked the streets of Mexico, but I discovered the dish at a restaurant in…

After a one weekend break in the city, I’m back on the wedding train. I’m excited that at this weekend’s event, I’ll get to see my whole family. I recently participated in a spin class at Crunch called #TotalRequestRide. First of all, if you don’t get the Total Request Live (RIP), aka TRL, reference…that makes…

Cinco de Mayo fell on a Tuesday this year so I decided not to go out. I live across from Rio Grande so that would have been the obvious choice for celebrating, but I also know they are home to the most lethal margs known to man. One ‘rita always turns into four and then next thing…
